Hey guys! Look who's back! I'm loving all the awesome characters in this show, especially a certain villain! I barely see the guy and wonder about him, and his backstory. This takes place between season 2 and 3. I hope that this story is good, please no flames and sorry for any OOC moments. Anyway, enjoy!

All he remembered was the whirring of sirens. They came at all sides, sounding like a voice saying that everything will be okay. However, he had no idea how he ended up here. The last thing he saw was fire. He just saw it consuming everything like a black hole.

Either way, Izuku was now safe in the hospital. Sure, he had a few burns, a badly bruised leg, and he felt dizzy, but he still had his life.

"I see that you're finally awake," Recovery Girl said as she walked over to Izuku.

"What happened?" Izuku asked.

Recovery Girl sighed as she began to change out Izuku's bandages.

"There was a series of villain attacks throughout the city, and class 1-A was tasked to act as reinforcements for the pros."

Flashback…

An explosion was heard from the back and top of the building. People were scrambling to get out as quickly as possible, with a few getting left behind. The villains who started the fire have begun to take off, but were stopped by Koda and Tokoyami, who were also on the scene.

While the others dealt with the other attacks, Izuku, Iida, and Todoroki were tasked with saving the civilians. This was no easy task because the building was eight stories high, and the smoke was extremely thick and rapidly increasing.

"Todoroki! Can't you freeze the building?" Iida asked as he ran out with two more people.

"I don't want to accidentally freeze over some civilians. Even if I did, the ice might melt and it won't be any help," Todoroki replied as he propped a man onto a stretcher.

Izuku ran out with another person and placed her in the arms of a paramedic.

"Do you think…we got…everyone?" Izuku asked in between breaths.

"I'm not sure," Iida said as Izuku looked up towards the windows of the building.

A little girl, who looked no older than six, was waving her hands around in a panic on the seventh floor.

"Iida! We missed one!" Izuku gasped as he ran back into the building with Iida right behind him.

"Todoroki! Try using your ice to stop the fire from spreading!" Iida yelled as he ran inside with Izuku.

Todoroki used his ice to create a small barrier between the burning building and the other ones. Like Todoroki said, the ice began to melt as the fire got stronger.

Inside the building, the little girl's screams were getting louder as they ran up the stairs. The building's wooden beams began to collapse, which was stating that Izuku and Iida didn't have much time left.

When they got to the room with the girl, Iida cradled her in his arms and began muttering words of comfort to her. That's when the roof began to crack.

"Deku!" Iida gasped as he saw Izuku's leg pinned under a few fallen beams.

"G-go Iida," Izuku coughed out, "D-Don't worry about me!"

"I can't just leave you!"

"It's okay, Iida! It's now or never!"

Iida began to tear up as he raced under the collapsing doorway. The roof of the seventh floor collapsed right as he left.

As Iida raced out to save the girl, beams began to fall left and right. He darted out the door with tears streaming down his face.

The moment the girl was safe, Iida went back inside the building to see where Izuku was. He tried to run past the flames, but the smoke was becoming too much for Iida to handle. Iida began to cough horribly and dropped to his knees.

"Deku!" Iida cried out as firefighters helped him out of the building before Todoroki's ice gave out and the building completely collapsed.

Everyone went crazy as the building fell almost in slow motion. Many people shielded their eyes from the smoke and dust.

After it was over, Iida began to dig up the building's remains in hope of finding Izuku. But after what seemed like hours of digging, Izuku was never found.

"Iida! I found him!" Todoroki yelled as he ran around the pile of bricks and ashes.

Izuku was unconscious on the ground with a few burn marks. He was only a few meters away from the building's remains.

"How did he…when…" Iida gasped as paramedics put Izuku on a stretcher and took him back to U.A as quickly as they could.

End of Flashback…

"Nobody knew how you ended up there, but what's important is that you survived," Recovery Girls finished as she went back to typing on her computer.

"There wasn't any evidence?" Izuku asked as he looked out the window.

"Not that we found," Recovery Girl replied, "But a person must've saved you. If you fell from that high, you would've been dead."

"Whoever that person was, I owe them big time," Izuku said with a small chuckle.

Iida, Uraraka, and Todoroki ran through the door and ran to Izuku's side in what only seemed like seconds.

"Deku! How are you feeling?" Uraraka asked as Deku blushed nervously.

"I'm okay, a little shocked, but okay," Izuku replied with his cheery signature grin.

"We didn't see you after the building collapsed. Did you use your quirk to escape?" Todoroki asked.

"I don't think I did," Izuku replied, "I just remember the flames and a scream."

"News reports have stated that someone probably rescued you. They've called the hero chameleon because their heroic act was invisible," Iida said.

"Oh, um, that's cool," Izuku said as he sat up.

"Everyone's been worried about you, Midoryia," Todoroki stated, "Even Mr. Aizawa cared to ask about your condition."

Izuku nodded again as he felt himself suddenly become very tired. Recovery Girl must've sensed it, because she started telling everyone to leave and that Izuku needed to rest. As Izuku drifted into a deep sleep, he couldn't help but wonder who this person was that dared to save his life. Most importantly, he wanted to know their motives.

Villain's Lair, 7:30 pm…

So, chameleon is the name given to the hero. Boy, did he wish he could become one. The way people stared at him on the streets when he went to get groceries. It got annoying, and he was sick of it. That's why he ran to this city. He didn't want to go mad being alone for his whole life, and he succeeded. Now he's among people who don't put him down for his appearance.

"Hey, Spinner," Dabi said as he walked into his room, "You've been quieter than usual. What's up?"

Dabi has been Spinner's best friend since he came to this city. Spinner witnessed everything in Dabi's life since they were 8 years old. He witnessed his transformation from and average fire-quirked boy to a lonely abused child. They had so much in common, and it was always nice to have someone to talk to when the harsh memories of their childhoods pop up out of nowhere.

"I'm okay, I was just lost in my thoughts again," Spinner replied.

"Whatever you say. I know that something is wrong though," Dabi replied as Spinner started to comb his hair with a comb.

"I was just thinking about today. There's something still nipping at me."

"If it's about the attack today, it's already done. There's no use crying over spilled milk, huh?"

Spinner sighed as he buried his face in his hands.

"Don't worry, Spinner," Dabi said putting a hand on Spinner's shoulder, "Everything will be fine. We've got your back."

Spinner suddenly felt something he hadn't felt in a while. He forgot the name of it, but it was a feeling he wished could've lasted forever.

"Thanks, Dabi," Spinner said giving off a small crooked smile.

Later that night, Spinner couldn't help but feel an urge to get some fresh air. He snuck out of the building and decided to take a small walk. The stars sprinkled the midnight sky as they lit up the city. The cold and gentle breeze felt like a cool washcloth being placed on someone with a fever.

"I wish the city was this pretty at daytime," Spinner thought as he continued to walk.

He knew this idea was stupid, but he highly doubted that a villain would try to rob him because Shigaraki was an ally of almost every villain you could mention. Not only that, but Spinner was keeping himself in the shadows of the buildings so a hero on patrol won't see him.

"The world is becoming a nightmare as each day goes by," Spinner thought, "Corrupted heroes, meaningless destruction, unreasonable pain…"

Pain was all he knew. He hated the feeling of it. No matter how much pain he got, it'll never turn numb. He learned about the heartless things people can do on the night he lost everything and was left on his own. He carried mental scars that seem to reopen every day.

Dabi was the only person who knew about his dark past, and Spinner was the only one who knew about Dabi's. Despite being close with a few people, Spinner felt empty. He never had a purpose.

The night his entire life was ripped away, he hoped that his parents could've at least told him something that'll give him a reason to live. But back then, they were the only reason he woke up every day. He looked forward to playing video games with his dad or run in the hills with his mom.

He remembered their voices much more then he remembered their faces. His mom's voice was gentle and comforting. She was always there when he fell off the couch or tripped down the stairs. She embraced him like a warm blanket and just held him as he cried. She would stroke his purple hair and tell him that she'll always be there for him, no matter what happened in their life.

He couldn't blame her though for saying that. She didn't know she was going to meet her demise that very night.

His father was a little tougher on Spinner. He taught him how to climb walls and how to sharpen swords. His father was also the one to introduce Spinner to video games. He remembered how his father told him to never let his guard down whether he was in first place or not.

Everyone was always after the number one spot.

Spinner never saw those words come into play until he ran away to Musutafu. He always heard about the top ten heroes, and he believed that the ranks just put a lot of stress on the heroes.

As he kept reminiscing, he heard a whoosh sound behind him. Spinner drew out a knife and turned around. There was nothing but darkness.

The whoosh came again, and Spinner felt a fist hit him in his jaw. He managed to focus on one of the attackers, which had a bulky body.

Spinner ran towards the buff thug and threw a knife at him, but the thug disappeared. He turned around to see a smaller thug hit him on the back of his head.

Spinner threw two knives and managed to hit one of the thugs in the leg. As he ran towards the thug he hit, Spinner drew out his sword and was ready to end the chaos. However, he was tackled and knocked to the ground from behind. The attack left him fading into unconsciousness rapidly.

It was a few moments before he was truly unconscious, but he managed to hear one of the thugs mutter something.

Freak.

The next day at UA…

Izuku's wounds were healing as time passed. He was able to stand easily that morning, and he was immediately back to his cinnamon-roll self. Iida and Uraraka seemed to become more protective since the day of the fire too. His classmates also began to ask Izuku a lot of questions. Iida had to be that person to drag Izuku away from everyone.

"Were you scared?"

"Did the fire hurt?"

"How did you get out?"

That was the one question that had Izuku hooked all day. How did he get out? Maybe it was that chameleon person that went crazy on the news. It could've been Koda or Tokoyami, but they were too far away to see him go in and not come out.

"Maybe another hero showed up without anyone knowing," Izuku thought, "But he would've easily been noticed by the public. He could've did it when he was running out of time though. That's got to be it! But All-Might would've had to notice me immediately through the fire, so…"

"You're muttering to yourself again, Deku," Uraraka said giggling as Izuku yelped.

"Sorry, Uraraka! I just had a lot on my mind, that's all," Izuku said nervously.

"You were muttering All-Might's name a lot, is he okay?" Uraraka asked.

"He's okay, it's just I wanted to see if he knew what happened yesterday,"

"Why don't you ask him, Deku? He probably knows what happened,"

"You're right! I'll talk to him right now. Thanks, Uraraka!"

Uraraka gave Izuku a hug, which made Izuku become as red as a tomato.

"I'll see you later then," Uraraka said as she ran to catch up with Momo and Jiro.

It didn't take long for Izuku to find All-Might, who was in his super form. He was walking out of his office when Izuku saw him.

"Hey All-Might! Can I talk to you for a second?" Izuku asked.

"Hello, young Midoryia! I would take a second, but I must go to an interrogation. They need me to intimidate him. Apparently he doesn't take the police seriously," All-Might replied.

"Is it alright if I come too?"

All-Might laughed as he gave Izuku a small pat on the head.

"I don't know if your mother would be okay with it."

"I won't go inside the room. I'll be outside the doors. I promise I won't be a problem!"

"Okay then, come on young Midoryia! Time is slipping away."

The two heroes then ran off to the interrogation. Little did anyone know that one moment of eye contact was going to change their lives forever.

Interrogation Room, Tartarus…

"I'm going to ask you one more time, where is the location of your comrades?" The police chief yelled.

Spinner didn't move a muscle. He kept looking at the ground while he was chained to the table. The conversation has been going on for about 20 minutes now. The police were at least hoping to get a word out of Spinner, but none prevailed.

Spinner was dropped off by a few thugs looking to make a few bucks. He felt stupid for being caught so easily, but he was completely overwhelmed. When he woke up, he was chained down to the wall. His swords have been taken away and he felt a little tired. But deep cuts didn't change his loyalty towards Shigaraki and Stain, whether they were here or not.

All-Might and Izuku walked into Tartarus a few moments after the question was asked. Izuku stood outside the room like he promised, but he was scared.

"So, you're a member of the League, huh?" All-Might said as he gave a wholehearted chuckle, "Your name is Shuichi Iguchi, am I right?"

Spinner raised his head a little to face All-Might, which made the police a little surprised. Spinner hated his real name. It reminded him too much of his parents.

"Why don't you make this simple and give us the information we need. After that, we can all go home and be happy," All-Might said.

Spinner raised his head a little more, but he still wore an emotionless look on his face. He remained silent too.

"Oh, come on!" A younger cop said from behind All-Might, "Why can't the freak just hurry up and talk already?!"

Freak…

"The lizard guy probably can't speak. I mean he's an animal right?" Another younger cop added.

Lizard…guy…

"That's enough you two!" The chief yelled, "We need to remain professional in this."

Freak…Lizard Guy…Freak…Freak…Lizard Guy…

Those words kept repeating in Spinner's mind. They hit him like spears in the heart. Old memories of pain and loneliness resurfaced like Sirens and drowned him in his ocean of misery. His intestines seem to twist, and he clenched his teeth.

"Stop it!" Spinner yelled at the top of his lungs, "I'm not a freak!"

The police and All-Might jumped at this sudden outbreak. Spinner kept yelling for everyone to leave him alone. He tried to break free from the chains holding him up on the wall.

"I think time is up now guys," The man on the intercom said as the police and All-Might left the room.

As everyone was walking out, Izuku caught sight of Spinner in his jail cell. Tears were running down his scaly face and he was screaming like there was no tomorrow.

Izuku's eyes made eye contact with Spinner for a minute, and he saw his violet eyes. His eyes weren't that of a cold-hearted villain, but that of a broken person begging for help.

Izuku never expected himself to have sympathy for a villain, but here he was, silently wishing he could help this traumatized villain.

"Stop calling me freak! Please! Leave me alone!" Spinner yelled as the doors of the room shut behind the police and All-Might.

"This world has no place for heroes like him!"

All that there remained was silence.

Guess what? It's cliffhanger time again! I know, I'm sorry. Also, you may ask why the Tartarus prison allowed Deku inside the building. I thought it was like that of a normal prison where anyone can visit, so I went with that. I'm sorry if I got information mixed up, but I tried. Anyway, stay tuned for more! Beast Boy and the Indoraptor are Beast mode!
